Friends and Enemies...

“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends”- Dominique Pirolo, 2011

It is an interesting thought that we would give that much power over our affairs to people who may not always have our best interest at thought.

Dealing with those who go against the grain is nothing new, so to think these individuals will agree to your ideals is quite a stretch. Its those whom we refer to as friends that deserve to be…

Help Our Veterans

On the occasion of a wonderful long weekend dedicated to family, food, and fun it’s imperative to remember what this holiday celebrates. Over the course of generations, Americans have sacrificed their youth, their bodies, and all too often their lives to protect our nation and its citizens. To pay homage to these incredible sacrifices is the very least each of us can offer, but it is even better to try to repay these brave patriots with something more tangible. For those of us involved in…

So you think you’re a “Recruitment Consultant” do you?

 

A few weeks back I started a discussion thread on LinkedIn titled “In-house recruiters rejoice! The cold call is dead. Long live Social Recruitment – Discuss” – It turned out to be a bit of a monster and with 129 comments was the biggest topic in the IOR (Institute of Recruiters) group for approximately 3-4…

Recruiters, it’s Time to Say NO!

As a newbie recruiter I was keen to “cut my teeth” in the industry and “earn my stripes” as quickly as possible, I wanted to be up there with the best of them. As a complete novice I believed that I had to work on anything and everything that came across my desk, no matter how unqualified it was or how many other recruiters were working on the same requirement.

Obviously there are a number of drawbacks with this approach, among them being that you spread yourself to thin, you are…

Top 12 ‘Environmental Selling Factors’ to Consider When Selecting Sales Talent

"There is no doubt in my mind that to create a world class sales team, you need to know how to identify talent outside of your own industry. Identifying common ESF’s is the first step in widening the talent pool available to you."

When hiring sales people, many sales managers seek out someone from within their particular industry, thus minimising risk, with the understanding that…

Get the most out of your ATS Training (Part 1 of 2)

Originally posted on www.sendouts.com/blog

 

You gotta love technology.  It can make life so simple.  Skype with a candidate in another region, reply to an email while you’re away from your desk, then come home and watch last week’s episode of The Voice on your dvr.  Sometimes, though, technology can be purely frustrating.  A malicious virus infects your hard drive, the internet is down for no apparent reason, and you just plain forget…

Bob Dylan – On Recruiting, Hiring and the Candidate Experience

“The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind, the answer is blowin’ in the wind”.

-          Bob Dylan

 

In case you missed it, or were just too busy waiting for the rapture, Bob Dylan turned 70 this past Tuesday, May 24th. In honor of that milestone, I decided to go back and listen again to my extensive collection of Dylan albums and CDs. Every time I listen to Dylan I hear something that I didn’t hear before, a subtle phrase, the…

Measure then Replace (not the other way around!)

Remember the old phrase “out with the old, in with the new.”  Many organizations live and die by this phrase, always looking for that new initiative that will drive performance even farther.

 

For recruiting, you are seeing a lot of this as well. There are so many new and innovative recruiting tools out there that recruiting departments are looking at and implementing into their recruitment marketing strategies.  And rightfully so.

 

Companies are looking to…

You Get The Service You Deserve: What Your Recruiting Process Says About You

Recruitment consultants make a pretty easy target for criticism. Poorly briefed,

lacking insight, superficial assessment of candidates, poor feedback, difficult

to get hold of, won't return calls etc.  These are oft-repeated criticisms of

the industry and this list is neither new nor exhaustive. But is it always fair

to land all the blame at the feet of the consultant?



I don't want to defend the recruitment industry in general because there is genuinely much to… Continue

Redundancy – your opportunity to refurbish

Facing redundancy can be worrying for a number of reasons – you may not be sure what to do next, and financial concerns are also often an issue.  The UDIA has estimated that approximately 40% of the industry has already lost their jobs, so finding another role can be difficult, particularly if you have only had experience in one sector. Don’t take it personally; remember that it was the job that was made redundant, not you. Be sure not to burn your bridges, although you may be upset, it is…

Education Verifications Continued or Better Known as Reality 101

Last week I posted an article. The Process and Pitfalls of Education Verification, about the ins and outs of education verification.   I directed it toward recruiters and staffing groups as well as to human resources managers.  Among other things, I wrote about various instances where employment candidates try to fudge on their degrees.   I wrote about the different ways they may stretch the truth. 

Alright, sometimes they just downright lie about having a degree when that…

Formatted to Fit your Mobile Screen

I admit, I'm addicted to my phone. So, when our CIO mentioned that we were going to make myStaffingPro's candidate experience mobile, I was more than excited, I was thrilled.

After much anticipation, the mobile candidate… Continue
